Closes the easing part of #1124 (the Blend panel's Type menu, Ramp and separate colour Shift, listed under G13). Fixes #1124 only in part: see "Not done".

What changed

  • Doc: BlendSpec gets ease (BlendEase { kind, ramp }) and colorShift. kind is one of Ease In, Ease Out, Ease In Out, Ease Out In; ramp is 0..1 (0 = even spacing); colorShift is -100..100 (0 = even colours). Defaults are skipped when saving, so old files load unchanged and unchanged blends save the same bytes. When reading a file, an out-of-range value is clamped and a non-finite or non-numeric one becomes the default, so one bad number never stops a document from opening.
  • Evaluation: per key pair, a step's even position goes through the chosen Type, blended with even spacing by Ramp, for shape and position. Colours (fills, strokes, opacity, mesh and text colours) use their own curve set by Shift, so colour and position move independently. Ends stay put. Easing (Type and Ramp) applies only when the blend has a spine; the colour Shift always applies. The curves are original approximations, not Adobe's.
  • Commands: object.blend.options and object.blend.make take easingType (easeIn, easeOut, easeInOut, easeOutIn), ramp (percent 0..100) and colorShift (-100..100); omitted ones keep their value. Out-of-range, non-numeric or unknown values are an error and leave the blend alone. object.blend.info reports them. With nothing selected the defaults carry spacing and orientation only.
  • UI: Window › Blend gets a Type menu, a Ramp slider and a colour Shift slider, with the existing live preview and undo. Blend Options keeps spacing and orientation only.
  • Docs: gaps.md (G13), roadmap.md, ui-parity.md, target-app-parity.md; scores unchanged.

Behaviour is taken from Adobe's public help (Blend objects) and the 30.7 release announcement; no Adobe software or files were used.

Not done

On-canvas easing handles.

Tests

  • doc: the four Types and Ramp keep the ends and are monotone; colour Shift moves colours without moving positions and the other way round; reading a file clamps out-of-range Ramp and Shift and maps NaN, null and text to the default.
  • engine: options set, validated and rejected atomically; info; format round trip; a saved document with out-of-range or NaN Ramp/Shift opens clamped/default while the commands still refuse the same values; command_sweep junk.
  • ui-egui: Blend panel edits and undo.

Checklist

  • cargo xtask ci (fmt, clippy, test, no-bundled-fonts, pdf-deps, assets, brands, cursors, layers, wasm) green on this head
  • Merged with current main, conflicts in the docs resolved keeping both sides
  • Description matches the implemented design

Rebased onto current main. Conflicts in crates/doc/src/lib.rs (kept main's live_paint export and the PR's BlendEase), docs/gaps.md, docs/target-app-parity.md and docs/ui-parity.md were resolved keeping both sides; because main now ships Window › Blend, the docs say easing controls in the Blend panel are missing rather than a dockable panel. A follow-up commit makes object.blend.make's params doc parse under main's new params check and adds the new labels to the nl, da and id catalogs (translations worth a native review). Verified: cargo fmt --check, cargo check --workspace --all-targets, and all tests of vectorcraft-doc, vectorcraft-engine and vectorcraft-ui-egui pass.

📝 Walkthrough

Blend settings now support position easing and independent color shifting. The Blend panel exposes controls for these settings. Blend interpolation applies separate timing to shape and appearance. The ruby alignment test now measures alignment using text advance widths.

Changes: Blend Easing and Color Shift

Layer / File(s) Summary
Define blend easing settings
crates/doc/src/live.rs, crates/doc/src/lib.rs
BlendSpec adds position easing and color shift. BlendEase supports four easing modes and a ramp. Deserialization validates configured ranges.
Apply easing during blend interpolation
crates/doc/src/blend.rs
Shape and color use separate interpolation values. Geometry and sizing retain position timing; appearance and paint styling use color timing. Tests cover easing modes and separate timing behavior.
Configure and report easing in blend commands
crates/engine/src/cmd/live.rs, crates/engine/src/tests_blendopts.rs, crates/engine/tests/command_sweep.rs
Blend creation and options accept and validate easing and color-shift parameters. Blend info reports the values. Tests cover validation, persistence, defaults, and rejected inputs.
Expose easing in Blend Options
crates/ui-egui/src/panels/blend.rs, crates/ui-egui/src/panels/tests_blend.rs, crates/ui-egui/src/i18n/untranslated_messages.txt, docs/gaps.md, docs/roadmap.md, docs/target-app-parity.md, docs/ui-parity.md
The Blend panel adds easing type, ramp, and color-shift controls. UI tests cover edits and undo. Documentation records the controls and their limitations.

Ruby Alignment Test

Layer / File(s) Summary
Validate ruby alignment using advance widths
crates/text/src/tests_ruby.rs
The alignment test reconstructs ruby bounds using advance widths and checks start, center, and end placement with a 1e-6 tolerance.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to dc4dc

Changing Color Shift can unexpectedly change intermediate stroke widths. Correct that behavior before merging, and update the remaining-work lists so they accurately describe the Blend panel.

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to dc4dc

The inspected changes remain confined to document editing and derived artwork. New numeric settings are bounded, and edits retain existing failure recovery and undo protections. No introduced security issue was identified, but downstream rendering and external saved-file consumers were not fully covered.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The demonstrated scope is blend state in the active document and artwork derived from its key objects. The inspected changes do not establish cross-document, service, credential or environment authority expansion. This conclusion does not establish security properties of uninspected rendering backends.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

  • inferred — The inspected path runs from caller-supplied settings through validation and document persistence to geometry, paint and opacity interpolation. It does not substantiate a new privileged sink or control bypass. The independent-color test supplies behavioral counterevidence, supplemented by inspection of the actual command and expansion implementations.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — Both command input and native document loading enforce finite numeric ranges for the added settings. Evaluation also clamps timing inputs and substitutes safe defaults for non-finite programmatic values. Invalid-command tests assert that the selected blend and undo depth remain unchanged.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — Document rollback and preview cancellation remain centralized rather than introducing a separate easing-state lifecycle. Shared history paths were inspected, but no dedicated test directly exercising redo after changing the new fields was identified.

Explanation

The description is complete and relevant. It explains the change, scope, behavior, commands, UI, documentation, unfinished work, tests, and validation status. It does not use the exact template headings and does not reproduce every checklist item, but it provides the required information and states that the full CI checklist passed.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Issue [#1124] requires interactive on-canvas blend controls, real-time canvas adjustment, and synchronization with the Blend panel. The current changes add easing and color-shift controls to the Blend panel and update blend evaluation, commands, tests, and documentation. The summary does not show on-canvas controls or canvas-to-panel synchronization. The issue requirements remain incomplete.

Resolution

Implement on-canvas Blend Tool controls and automated tests for real-time updates and synchronization with the Blend panel. Alternatively, link this pull request to an active issue with the narrower easing and panel scope.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

Most document, engine, panel, test, and documentation changes support the easing portion of issue [#1124]. The change in crates/text/src/tests_ruby.rs updates ruby alignment test behavior and has no demonstrated connection to Blend easing, Blend controls, or issue [#1124].

Assert color easing after cancellation.

The test previews colorEaseOut, but the post-cancel assertion checks only shape easing. A regression that restores ease but leaves color_ease modified would pass this test.

Preserve omitted easing values per selected blend.

object.blend.options resolves omitted easing keys from the first selected blend, then writes those values to every selected blend. This overwrites distinct easing settings when a multi-selection supplies only some easing keys. Resolve omitted keys against each target inside the update loop.

Name the easing that color easing is independent from.

BlendSpec.color_ease is independent of BlendSpec.ease. “Independent of the spacing” can instead refer to the separate step-spacing setting. Use “independent of shape/position easing” to describe the control accurately.

Thanks @vangel76. Not landing this as built: in current Illustrator the easing lives in the Blend panel (a Type menu: Ease In, Ease Out, Ease In Out, Ease Out In, and a Ramp 0–100 %, with a separate colour Shift), not as four sliders in Blend Options. Main now has Window › Blend; it would need redoing there to match.

Read the source at 0f4be95. BlendEase::apply is a monotone Bézier with fixed ends (bisection, clamped, NaN-safe), and at_eased splits shape/position (t) from colours, strokes, opacity, mesh and text colours (tc) consistently through groups, meshes and text. Rail placement uses the eased t. ease_param rejects out-of-range and non-numeric values before anything is edited, and old files load as even and write no easing keys. The new tests cover the endpoints, monotonicity, colour-versus-position independence, validation, round trip and the dialog preview. FreeBSD x86_64 build and test is green at this head.

Non-blocking: object.blend.options with no blend selected silently ignores easeIn and the other easing keys (the defaults have no easing); a short error there would be friendlier to command callers than dropping them.

Reworked to match the Blend panel: the four sliders are gone from Blend Options, and Window > Blend now has a Type menu (Ease In, Ease Out, Ease In Out, Ease Out In), a Ramp of 0 to 100 percent and a separate colour Shift. The commands use easingType, ramp and colorShift. Type and Ramp only act on a blend that has a spine (a replaced one, or Align to Path); Shift always applies. object.blend.options with easing keys and no blend selected now returns an error instead of ignoring them. Merged the current main (docs conflicts only). Locally: cargo check --workspace --all-targets, the doc, engine (including the command sweep) and ui-egui blend and i18n tests pass. I have not yet run cargo xtask ci end to end.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Keep stroke geometry on positional timing.

When key objects have different stroke widths, changing only colorShift changes the intermediate widths. lerp_appearance uses its timing argument for stroke width, dash, and width profile as well as paint. Line 667 now passes tc for all of them. Pass t for stroke geometry and tc for paint and appearance opacity. Add a regression with different key stroke widths.

Remove the completed Blend panel controls from the missing list.

This new partial-implementation entry says Window › Blend provides Type, Ramp, and color Shift. The G13 “Missing” list at Line 271 still says that the Blend panel and those controls are missing. Keep the on-canvas handles in the missing scope, but remove the implemented controls from that list. As per coding guidelines, “update in the same PR … the gap entry in docs/gaps.md if it closed or shrank.”

Reconcile the Blend panel gap with the implemented controls.

This row says the Blend panel provides Type, Ramp, and color Shift, but its “Main gaps” cell still lists the Blend panel with ease in/out. Name the remaining on-canvas controls instead. Otherwise, the area assessment gives readers conflicting status for the same feature. As per coding guidelines, “update in the same PR: the area row in docs/target-app-parity.md (score, missing items, hours) and its evidence list.”

Merged current main into the branch (conflicts only in docs/roadmap.md and docs/target-app-parity.md, resolved keeping both sides) and ran cargo xtask ci end to end: all 10 steps passed. fmt ok, clippy ok, tests ok, no-bundled-fonts ok, pdf-deps ok, assets ok, brands ok, cursors ok, layers ok, wasm ok.

Thanks @vangel76, the rework matches what I described: a Type menu (Ease In, Ease Out, Ease In Out, Ease Out In), a Ramp and a separate colour Shift in the Blend panel. Two things before it lands:

  • It conflicts with main now; please merge or rebase.
  • blend_ramp / blend_color_shift return a deserialize error for an out-of-range or non-finite value, which makes the whole document fail to open over one bad number in a blend. Please clamp (and map NaN to the default) when reading instead, as other BlendSpec fields do, and keep the refusal in the commands.

The PR description still describes the old four sliders in Blend Options; an update there would help the next reader too.

Thanks. Both done in a44b5f1: I merged main (the docs conflicts keep both sides), and reading a file now clamps Ramp and Shift to their ranges and maps NaN or non-numeric values to the default, so one bad number no longer stops a document from opening. The commands still refuse such values and leave the blend alone, and there are tests for both. The description now covers the Type menu, Ramp and colour Shift in the Blend panel, and says Type and Ramp apply only with a spine. cargo xtask ci is green on this head.

Thanks @vangel76, merged (squashed onto main). Checked live: a 5-step blend takes Ease In at a 100 % ramp through object.blend.options, and object.blend.info reports it.
